What is an Ethical Review in Clinical Trials?

An ethical review is a rigorous evaluation conducted by an Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure that a clinical trial adheres to ethical principles and protects the rights, safety, and well-being of participants. The review process occurs before the trial begins and may be conducted periodically throughout the study.

For example, an ethical review might assess whether the informed consent process is clear and comprehensive or if the potential benefits of the trial outweigh the risks to participants.

‍

Why is Ethical Review Important?

Ethical reviews are essential for maintaining trust, safety, and integrity in clinical research. Key reasons include:

• Protecting Participants: Ensures that the study prioritizes the rights, safety, and dignity of all participants.
• Regulatory Compliance: Satisfies legal and international guidelines, such as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the Declaration of Helsinki.
• Assessing Risk-Benefit Balance: Confirms that potential risks are minimized and reasonable compared to the potential benefits.
• Promoting Transparency: Verifies that participants are fully informed about the trial, its procedures, and potential risks or benefits.
• Enhancing Scientific Rigor: Evaluates the study’s design to ensure it is scientifically valid and ethically sound.

The ethical review process safeguards both participants and the integrity of clinical trials.

Key Aspects Evaluated During an Ethical Review

1. Informed Consent:
   • Ensures participants receive clear, comprehensive information about the trial and provide voluntary consent.
2. Participant Safety:
   • Assesses safety monitoring plans and procedures for managing adverse events.
3. Study Design:
   • Evaluates whether the trial’s methodology is scientifically robust and ethically justified.
4. Vulnerable Populations:
   • Ensures additional protections for groups such as children, pregnant women, or those with diminished autonomy.
5. Risk-Benefit Analysis:
   • Confirms that potential benefits outweigh risks for participants.
6. Privacy and Confidentiality:
   • Verifies that participant data will be handled securely and in compliance with privacy laws.
